VIDEO: Jay Z, Beyonce Refuse to Stand For National Anthem During Super Bowl

The music legends did not stand for the National Anthem.

Beyonce and Jay Z, attending the Super Bowl with their child Blue Ivy, both sat during Demi Lovato’s performance of the National Anthem during the opening moments of Super Bowl LIV.

Video uploaded by the Demi Lovato News Media Twitter account seems to confirm reports that the American music stars did not stand for the National Anthem, seemingly in an homage to former football player Colin Kaepernick, who led to a series of boycotts and national controversy when he knelt for the anthem.

“Beyonce and Jay Z watching Demi perform the National Anthem at the #SuperBowl,” wrote the account.

No strangers to political activism, Jay Z and Beyonce famously performed concerts for failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016.

In the aftermath of Kaepernick’s infamous protest, sports brands have continued to signal their virtue. Late last year, after pulling a Betsy Ross flag design from their collection, Nike released a new line of shoes commemorating the kneeling protest.
